Linda Zolten Wood
Linda Zolten Wood has painted colorful murals all over Northeast Ohio, and shares joyful graphic artwork as a way to celebrate the positive energy through representation and diversity. She brings arts and sustainability together to create solutions to environmental issues and raises awareness to practical solutions to our changing climate.
Zolten Wood earned her BFA from Cleveland Institute of Art and began her career as a set painter at Cain Park Summer Theater and prop artisan at The Cleveland Play House.
Her Upcycled Arts and Painting Workshops are influenced by travels in India, which practices a national ethic of 'no waste', where practically everything is repaired or re-used in some way: Conservation as a daily practice and culture.
She created The Collinwood Painted Rain Barrel Project and Zolten Wood Design, which has received multiple Neighborhood Connections and Cuyahoga Arts and Culture grants to serve Greater Cleveland through workshops for all age students and Senior citizens.
Her philosophy "Art For All" offers creativity to anyone who wants to try, regardless of economics or education: she has experienced the healing of the Arts in all areas of her life.
